I am not Pasky, but I think the intent of the patch is to run
"git repo-config" with GIT_CONFIG pointing at /etc/gitweb.conf
to obtain server-wide configuration (e.g. finding out where
repositories are) and then when serving individual repository
(i.e. after we set up GIT_DIR to point at it) run "git
repo-config" without GIT_CONFIG to read per-repository
configuration.  That way we can reuse the configuration parser.
